Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Pluralsight is one of the best tools I’ve come across for online learning. It’s widely used within our organization, where employees rely on it to stay updated with the latest technologies. We also use it to fulfill personal development goals, with a focus on cost-effective learning. The platform offers a wide variety of courses, allowing employees to explore new languages or technologies that align with their interests. It’s been a valuable resource for personal and professional growth, and as individuals develop, the organization naturally benefits as well.

Pros

Best Mobile Application UI and 5000+ courses available.
Enrolling on mobile devices is very easy, and you can register multiple devices on a single ID. Access to all courses is very seamless.
Best feature is bookmarking the courses you are interested to watch later. Also, you can continue your course anytime you want where you have left off.
Course completion certificate.

Cons

There are only courses related to technology. They don't offer courses on online marketing or social media.
Many times courses are long and lengthy, which discontinues effective learning.
Some videos have poor voice and video quality.

Likelihood to Recommend

Pluralsight is moving in the right direction, offering a vast amount of content that can be accessed unlimited times. I highly recommend this platform, especially if you're looking to achieve your personal development goals. It's particularly valuable for those focused on technology, making it ideal for tech-savvy individuals. However, for social media or non-technical courses, Pluralsight may not be the best option, as it doesn't provide as much relevant content in those areas.

Return on Investment

People can pursue goals beyond their daily tasks, which ultimately contributes to the growth of the organization.
It offers cost-effective learning and development, allowing users to take any course and access them as many times as they need, whenever they want.
It is crucial and plays a vital role in achieving business objectives and driving significant impact.

Alternatives Considered

Udemy for Business

Pluralsight offers a broad range of courses with high-quality content and features that surpass those of Udemy. My organization has adopted Pluralsight and built trust in it, especially with its strong offerings at the organizational level. In contrast, Udemy focuses more on non-technical subjects and lacks the best business-oriented solutions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our department, developers use Pluralsight to get up to speed on new or unfamiliar technologies that we think will prove useful to the products we market. For example, when one of our applications was too slow, developers started watching Pluralsight courses on AngularJS. This led to updating our product to use AngularJS for the front-end and customers love the speed. This led to a decision to upgrade another product and many of the consultants began watching Angular 2 courses on Pluralsight.

Pros

When it comes to Microsoft tools, languages and techniques, Pluralsight brings its customers the very latest in content. Just after the release of ASP.NET Core 2.0 came out they had a course available online.
The instructors are top-notch. You get incredible presenters such as Paul Sheriff, Shawn Wildermuth, Scott Allen and more. All are incredibly articulate and provide great download code.
Pluralsight offers a cool set of tools that let you take a test and see where you stand on the learning curve of a given technology. This lets you know where you should be brushing up on a given technology.

Cons

Companies don't change technologies in their products often. For example a product that was built on AngularJS is still viable and the company may have no plans to upgrade it. Pluralsight could do a better job of providing new courses on technology that's still useful, though somewhat dated; like AngularJS for example.
Pluralsight has a bad habit of throwing all their courses in a large bucket. For example, when I log-in and look to see what new I often have to wade through courses on tools that a web artist or designer would use. I wish Pluralsight would categorize course and let us (their customers) flag what types of videos we wanted to see, or better yet exclude from our view.
Years ago, Pluralsight would let its customer download the courseware and that was great. I was disappointed when they stopped this feature.
I'd love to see more course where the goal is to build a particular type of software. For example, lets have one where you build a blog using ASP.NET and deploy it to Azure. Let have one where you build a survey application, etc. Learning technologies is great, but I'd love to see courses where the goal is to build a particular type of application.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're a web developer you definitely need Pluralsight to stay relevant in this industry. If you're a web designer that uses tools to draw or paint web pages Pluralsight may have something for you, but not much. Another thing where Pluralsight is great is the self-assessment tests. They are a geat place to find questions and answers to use in technical interviews.

Return on Investment

Pluralsight is truly cost-effective for staying relevant. An annual Pluralsight subscription for an entire team is far more cost-effective than sending one individual to in-person training for a week.
When we need to get up to speed on a technology, our Pluralsight subscription is right at hand. One quick search and we can get started. This helps us shorten the learning curve. Trying to find an in-person course has become difficult because the market has mostly transitioned to online courses.

Alternatives Considered

I often purchase courses on from Udemy when I don't see the content I need from Pluralsight. For example, When I needed to learn AngularJS, Pluralsight had many courses but the ones on Udemy quickly explained what they were going to build in the course and they provided small segments on particular commands. With Pluralsight you often have to watch a 40 minute module to see if its going to give you what you need. Still, no one has more courses on technology that's just been released than Pluralsight. With Pluralsight I can purchase an annual subscription and then fill-in-the-blanks with $15 courses from Udemy or Packt Publishing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Pluralsight is offered as a video resource for all faculty and students at the Art Institute of Virginia Beach. It offers training in a variety of software and IT solutions.

Pros

Clear videos, good resolution
Resource downloads
Variety of training

Cons

Offer some videos specifically to provide a more in-depth look at certain tools and attributes, rather than how to use the tools in a project.
Some videos are a bit lengthy.

Likelihood to Recommend

Very appropriate for software training in all areas. Easy to use and search for specific training. Also accessible on mobile devices. Can't think of any scenerio where it is less appropriate.

Return on Investment

Positive: offered training to faculty and students outside of the classroom
Opportunity for professional development
Tracked training hours for professional development

Alternatives Considered

Pluralsight is a great training resource and it was offered at the college. Before being a faculty member, I found free videos from Pluralsight (then, digital tutors) via YouTube and thought they were very helpful.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We as an IT department need to be up to date, and Pluralsight is kinda a shortcut to get short, intense courses to familiarize all teams with the same concepts.

Pros

Translated to almost all languages.
Offline and mobile downloads.
Up-to-date courses.

Cons

More ways to search/browse. You can't filter/sort on ratings, etc.
Help center is still missing some of my questions.
Chatting support at least as premium user!
Cannot share into LinkedIn, only share post!

Likelihood to Recommend

It is suited for big picture, and not for hands-on walk-through tutorials for example.

Return on Investment

Self-development technically.
Supports organizational goals.
Helps in decision making.
Guides team more accurately toward vision.

Alternatives Considered

LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) and Udemy for Business

It had more discounted offers back then... and still, more marketing is done. It's cheaper than LinkedIn Learning.

Downside, PluralSight is more [theoretical] than hands-on.

Support Rating

Each feedback I do for them, I get no response. Minimal communication and followups!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So, it's used by the Data Engineering team and other teams primarily for data courses, such as Spark, Scala, Amazon Web Services, SQL. We've solved the recommendations engine by processing 5TB of raw data a day using Spark Pipelines, and the Pluralsight course helped me and my team to a great extent.
